Hydroxyzine Impurity 2 CAS CATO-C4X-16602 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

CATO supplies Hydroxyzine Impurity 2 (CAS CATO-C4X-16602), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H19D8ClN2O2, MW 382.95 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to deuterium isotope labeling, a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Hydroxyzine Impurity 2 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 382.95 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hydroxyzine Impurity 2 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
